BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE
This morning i was awakened by the gentle snoring of Old Man Winter. (i think he wants to be my boyfriend.)
Somehow between 12 and 6 am, the weather had turned from cool but temperate to butt booty frigid. I had been curled up in fetal position when i woke up. When i stretched, OH EM GEE. My sheets were like the frozen tundra of greenland. Not cool. Or rather, too cool. Needless to say, i was not a happy camper. I'm one of those people who doesn't like to sleep with clothes on(not nekkid tho, i'm scared that there'll be a fire and when the firemen come to rescue me - *pladow*) and the trek from bed to the chair where my heavy terry cloth robe was thrown seemed of interminable length. Throwing it on i scurried downstairs to see exactly how cold it was.
54 degrees.
*blink*

Thats right, my house was a balmy fifty four degrees.
Why so cold? Well for one, it was 38 degrees outside. And for two? Well i've been putting off turning on the heat. Heating my house costs an arm, a leg, and like one buttcheek. And i was trying to delay the inevitable for as long as possible. Not to mention, its only Oct 20th! Not December 20th. Not January 20th. We're still in the early part of fall, what the funk are these cold mornings about? I'm so not ready for winter. Cold weather makes me want to hibernate. It was all i could do not to get back in bed, pull the covers up to my nose, and go back to sleep. *sigh* Its going to be a long winter. Are you guys ready? I'm not.

I thought this would be a good time to mention that Jan 20th is my birthday. And they just turned on the heat yesterday in my building, so I was quite the happy camper
If there are two things that I am it is anti-smooth jazz and anti-winter. Around this time of year I constantly question my decision to remain this far North. San Diego, CA and Miami, FL are calling me...
@ rashad are you coming in here bragging about being warm? shame on you! grr.
and how fortuitous, i mention january 20th and that just happens to be your birthday. :)
@ jazzbrew i'm with you on the anti winter thing, and like you i constantly wonder why i stay here when i hate the cold so much. Its a terrible cycle.
but yeah...anti smooth jazz? eek! :/
I don't mind cold weather on Thanksgiving and around Christmas/New Years. The winter chill is part of the experience. After that though -- I'm done with it.
Anti-smooth jazz might be a bit strong... let's just say I would RATHER listen to Miles Davis or Terence Blanchard than Chris Botti or Rick Braun. Whenever given the opportunity I try to turn folks on to the alternative.
jazzbrew around that time of year i don't mind some snow, or cold temps. but after that i immediately want it to go back to being warm.
and i agree w/ rather listening to miles or blanchard over botti or braun. However i've found that for the unitiated, they are great stepping stones to the more "authentic" stuff.
